Love is come again I am gone again Love is the end of history The enemy of misery Love is come again I am gone again Love is justice, not charity Love brings with it a clarity Love is come again I'm alive again Alive

Lyric of the Day

"(Beautiful Day's) lyric expresses amazement, really, that whatever situation you find yourself in, as uncomfortable and upsetting as they can be, if you're alive and you are awake, then you have perspective on it... Pain is evidence of life because it reminds you there are things in your life that aren't right. So you should be thankful for it really and celebrate that there is so much to live for." - Bono describing Beautiful Day in 2006

Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour) Lyrics

When the sky falls
And the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won’t break
When the sky falls
And the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won’t break

Sa Pa Sé
My Port-Au-Princes
My Haitian goddess
And all of my princesses
Our condolences as you’re fighting against this
We’re right by your side
As we’re trying to make sense of this
Heavenly father
Help us see through these problems
And for those that left
Accept them into your garden
So here’s my theory
The country’s already starving
So we sacrificed many
To shed light on all of them
God please pardon, I speak from the heart
It’s the only way I see this tragedy befalling them
So lets get involved with them
Hand to hand with them, arm to arm with them
Until they get strong again
When the sky falls

When the sky falls
And the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won’t break
When the sky falls
And the earth quakes
We gonna put this back together
We won’t break

Learn from the past
New Orleans was flooded
So we know we just can’t rely on the government
We under the rubble again
Here we go rumbling
When we gonna catch a break
My friend lost his mother and then
And then, Caroline lost her uncles and them
Buried with no caskets
They just put covers on them
And the tears fall, and we fight back
The story ain’t done, it can’t end like that
Nah not like this
Tomorrow’s survivors are gonna carry on your name
You live on inside us
Your memory’s alive with us
You inspired us to rebuild this country
You just guide us

We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break
Not gonna leave stranded
We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break
Not gonna leave you stranded
We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break
Not gonna leave you stranded
We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break
We’re gonna put this back together, we wont break
